Advantage Of Combined Amalgam-Composite Restoration: In Vitro Leakage Study, Ahmed A. Madfa
Advantage Of Combined Amalgam-Composite Restoration: In Vitro Leakage Study, Ahmed A. Madfa
Ahmed A. Madfa
Purpose: Evalute the leakage of Class II box composite restorations and compared with composite lined by flowable composite and combined amalgam-composite restoration. Method: Fifty-four Class II box shaped cavities were on the distal (1 mm below CEJ) surfaces, 18 cavities for each. Scotchbond Multi-Purpose adhesive system, Filtek Z250 composite, and a metal band system were used for all. After thermocycling test (1000 cycles, 5–55°C with 30 s) and dye immersion, the teeth were sectioned longitudinally in a mesio-distal direction and dye penetration was recorded. Results: Combine amalgam-composite restorations showed less gingival leakage than composite alone and composite lined by flowable …
Application Of Calcium Phosphate Materials In Dentistry, Ahmed A. Madfa
Application Of Calcium Phosphate Materials In Dentistry, Ahmed A. Madfa
Ahmed A. Madfa
Calcium phosphate materials are similar to bone in composition and in having bioactive and osteoconductive properties. Calcium phosphate materials in different forms, as cements, composites, and coatings, are used in many medical and dental applications. This paper reviews the applications of these materials in dentistry. It presents a brief history, dental applications, and methods for improving their mechanical properties. Notable research is highlighted regarding (1) application of calcium phosphate into various fields in dentistry; (2) improving mechanical properties of calcium phosphate; (3) biomimetic process and functionally graded materials. This paper deals with most common types of the calcium phosphate materials …
